Agave Mexican Grille and Tequila Bar Opening in Malden

A Mexican restaurant will soon be opening in Malden, moving into the space where a Chinese eatery used to be. According to a job posting on the Craigslist site, Agave Mexican Grille and Tequila Bar will open on Medford Street (southwest of the downtown area), replacing the Beansprout Restaurant, which closed in late 2009 after being in business for about 30 years.

The job posting on Craigslist mentions that Agave will have a capacity of about 180, and it appears that the menu will include both traditional Mexican and Mexican-American fare. A Mid-March opening is planned.

[April 15 update: An email from the restaurant indicates that Agave is now open.]

The address for this Mexican restaurant in Malden is: Agave Mexican Grille and Tequila Bar, 270 Medford Street, Malden, MA, 02148.
